Hotel SHIBI

Great Caucasus


This is the red-roofed house just above the river about 300m upstream from the bridge at Juta. It's run by an amiable couple, here year-round, who provide cosy rooms, solid meals, a hot shower and indoor toilets. A renovation has made the downstairs rooms a little better, and there's now a kitchen guests can use too.
